MK Eitan Cabel (Labor) referred to the "Prisoner X" affair and posted on his Facebook page that "in the past I've pressed the system for answers, but senior security officials asked me to give up, fearing grave damage to Israel."

Cabel added that "in some cases the State's security trumps the public's right to know," but stressed that "the current affair must lead to a systematic upheaval in all security branches." (Moran Azulay)
